36. LAGHU SITA SATU:
It was composed by Bhagvati Dasa. In this work, the character of Srá has been depicted in a nice manner. The poet composed in 1627 A. D.a Brihad Sita Satu but as it was a lengthy work and could not be made attractive so another small work was composed by the name "LAGHU SITA SATU' in the year 1630 A.D. In Sahadara, Delhi.
इन्द्रपुरी सम सिहरदिपुरी, मानवरूव प्रमरा ति दुरी । अग्रवाल श्रावक धनवत, जिनवर भक्ति करै ममकत । तह कवि माइ भगोतीदासु, सीता सतु भनियो पूनि प्रामु । बहु विस्तर अरु छंद घनेरा, पढत प्रेम बाढई चित केरा ।
एक दिवस पूरन ह्व नाही, प्रति अमिलाप रही मन माही। दोहा:-तिहि कारण लघुसतु करथा, देस चौपई भास ।
छद जूझ सबु छांडिकइ, राखि बारह मास ।। सोरठा-सवतु मुणहु सुजान, सोलहस इस सतामियइ ।
चैत शुकल तिथिदान, भरणी ससि दिन सोमयो ।
The description of twelve months and dialogues between Sità and Mandodari are excellent. It is a very good work of Hindi literature -
तब बोलइ मदोदरी रानी, रुति प्रषाढ घन घट छइ रानी । पीय गए ते फिर घर पावा, पामर नर नित मन्दिर छावा । लवहि पपीहे दादुर मोरा, हियरा उमग घरत नहि मोरा । बादर उमहि रहे चौपासा, तिय पिय विनु लिहि उमन उसासा ।।
